  When two pointers are subtracted, both shall point to elements of
  the same array object, or one past the last element of the array
  object; the result is the difference of the subscripts of the two
  array elements.  The size of the result is implementation-defined,
  and its type (a signed integer type) is ptrdiff_t defined in the
  <stddef.h> header.

ptrdiff_t is not necessarily that same as ssize_t.
